Broncos star cleared of major injury after loss to Raiders
Brisbane's Julia Robinson is cleared of serious injury, boosting hopes for her return against Sydney Roosters in the grand final rematch.

Brisbane's NRLW title chase has been given a huge boost after scans cleared star Julia Robinson of any serious injury concerns ahead of Saturday's grand final rematch with Sydney Roosters.
The Jillaroos and Queensland Origin star was taken from the field with a suspected MCL injury in Sunday's shock loss to Canberra with fears she could miss the rest of the season, and potentially the Rugby League World Cup at the end of the year.
However, the Broncos have confirmed she will be monitored across this week with hopes of making a return to the field, potentially to face the Roosters on Saturday afternoon.
Her inclusion would be a surprise given her obvious discomfort while being helped from the field against the Raiders, but would be a massive advantage for the Broncos after their first loss of the season.
Already they will be without veteran half Ali Brigginshaw (suspended) as well as Queensland dummy half Jada Ferguson (consussion) for the most anticipated NRLW game of the season.

Brisbane Broncos skipper Adam Reynolds is set to be ruled out of the premiers' clash with the high-flying New Zealand Warriors on Saturday.
Fresh reports from the Courier Mail reveal Reynolds took no part in training on Tuesday despite being given the green light to return from a head knock that sidelined him in their loss against the Dolphins last week.
It is understood Reynolds is also touch-and-go for next week's fixture against the Raiders after a battle with general soreness during a tough final year of his career.
There is every chance the classy playmaker will be given extra time to get his body right for his farewell match against the Storm in the club's final home game of the season the following week.

Former NRL prop Liam Knight is nearing a return to the NRL after signing with the North Sydney Bears in the NSW Cup.
Knight impressed in his short 12-month stint in the Northern Hemisphere with Hull FC during 2025, and was rewarded with a new contract for this year until he returned home in February.
The 31-year-old played local footy with Cessnock in the Newcastle Denton Engineering Cup in the Hunter. Still, the Bears recently picked up his talents and announced his arrival on their social media last weekend.
The Bears went on with the job against the Magpies to secure the Jason Taylor Cup with a pressing 46-16 win, but a bigger question emerges for the former Manly, Canberra, South Sydney and Canterbury forward.
